Solving optimization problems simultaneously: the variants of the traveling salesman problem with time windows using multifactorial evolutionary algorithm
Abstract:We studied two problems called the Traveling Repairman Problem (TRPTW) and Traveling Salesman Problem (TSPTW) with time windows. The TRPTW wants to minimize the sum of travel durations between a depot and customer locations, while the TSPTW aims to minimize the total time to visit all customers. In these two problems, the deliveries are made during a specific time window given by the customers. The difference between the TRPTW and TSPTW is that the TRPTW takes a customer-oriented view, whereas the TSPTW is ser… Show more
